Our show made the cover of Montreal's top culture &amp; entertainment weekly <i>Hour</i>.<br>
You can read the article here: <a href="http://www.hour.ca/stage/stage.aspx?iIDArticle=19880" rel="nofollow">http://www.hour.ca/stage/stage.aspx...</a><br>
and see a little image of what the cover looks like on the home page <a href="http://www.hour.ca" rel="nofollow">www.hour.ca</a>.<br>
Needless to say, we are thrilled to be getting such great media attention, and are channeling our excitement into perfecting the show which will debut in just over a week.<br>
Best wishes,<br>
Ted Strauss, for The Duck Wife team</p>tag:www.kickstarter.com,2008-10-09:Post/154152010-05-29T13:33:59-04:002011-03-01T00:38:54-05:00We did it! Thanks to you.<p>To our incredibly generous friends,</p>
<p>Thank you.</p>
<p>Wow! We reached our goal of $5 000 with a few days to go!</p>
<p>From donations of $5 to $859, you have all made The Duck Wife team extraordinarily happy! Nothing is overlooked, and every donation makes a difference. Already 82 people have been moved to donate!</p>
<p>We are blown away by your generosity and enthusiasm for our project. In addition to financial support, we've heard many encouraging words, and have felt a warm sense of community from all of you.</p>
<p>Your donations will be used to pay for transportation, food, printing and accomodations during our 4 city tour. This will allow our ticket and merchandise revenue to be used to pay the performers, so that we can return home with some earnings in our pockets, a step closer to independence as professional artists. That's our dream and it's starting to come true.</p>
<p>Encouraged by the passionate responses we’ve had, we plan to make full use of our last 6 days to see how much further we can go. Let’s finish this campaign off with a bang, and start our show off running! Please continue to forward our Kickstarter page to anyone you know using this link: <a href="http://kck.st/cmjarx" rel="nofollow">http://kck.st/cmjarx</a>. As we’ve leaneed, you never know who will be inspired to give!</p>
<p>Thank you so much!</p>
